Solve : Taking files from one folder and putting them in another through dos/batch?

Answer»

I'm TRYING to create a batch file that will copy the FILES from one folder and paste them into another folder.. but I don't really know how to Code: [Select]copy /?
Or;

Code: [Select]xcopy /?
Or [if you have vista];

Code: [Select]robocopy /?
should reveal all the information you need.

Basically it's just:

Quote

copy "DIRECTORY TO COPY\*.*" "OUTPUT DIRECTORY"

Or with xcopy:


Quote
xcopy "DIRECTORY TO COPY" "DIRECTORY TO COPY TO" /E
Thanks.. erm I don't know how my eyes skipped over copy... I looked through the help list at least 5 times. But thanks again.Yea, well it's there:
